If I-84 does get messy around Hartford, there is an alternative that works. It feels like it takes forever, but it's only about 8 miles longer: 1) As you're taking I-84 east, take I-691 south at Meridien (I believe). 2) Take I-691 south to I-91 north. 3) Take CT 3 east to CT 2 north. CT 2 north rejoins I-84 east in East Hartford, which is beyond any construction. (The last bit would also work if you took I-95 from New York to New Haven and then I-91 to Hartford.) It depends, of course, where the construction is and how bad it is. This also might work to avoid Hartford evening rush hour traffic, because I-84 opens up after route 2. It does work, heading south/west, to avoid morning rush hour. When I drove through Hartford at about 8:30 AM, traffic backed up at route 2. Julian C. Lander jclander@mitre.org
